2001 Subaru Forester L review from North America
"Has been great in a ski/mountain environment for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt assembly - $800.
Cam sensor - $200.
Rear windshield wiper motor - $150 (self repair).
General comments?
Car has been a tank and I have not had any of the bearing or head gasket problems I have read about yet.
Great handling with Michelin Harmony tires
Low MPG for car so small.
